We’re paying $235 per person in business support while our peers are spending $403, leaving us 42% below their median, and that’s just plain foolish when we’re fighting to keep jobs and grow. Why should we settle for the bare minimum when the rest of the world is already investing $390 per person to stay ahead? It’s time to stop nickel-and-diming our future and match the standard everyone else is already meeting.
